"This is a mutant geno tree?" Han Sen said, as he looked at the old tree .
"Yes . If we could tend and cultivate it successfully, we should be able to grow Dragon-Blood Fruit . They bear mutant-class pet beast souls, called Dragon-Blood Snakes . They could all be sold for riches," Qu Lanxi said .
"Selling just one of those would make us rich . " Qu Lanxi paused for a brief while before continuing, "But such thoughts are pointless, even if the tree was alive . It requires the blood of ordinary beasts, each and every day . I have heard that the blood of Blood-Scale Snakes is the most beneficial . But unfortunately, Qing Ming Shelter does not possess any such snakes . The old spirit that once lived here perished in the Thorn Forest in search of them . "
"That is a shame," Han Sen said, feeling sorry in his heart .
"Even if such blood was available for sale, we couldn't afford it . This tree is a lost cause on us," Qu Lanxi said .
Han Sen smiled and looked at her .
She was an elegant woman . Although she was not stunning, she was beautiful and fair . Her appearance was delicate and comforting, and her company was something many people would want for .
Even amidst such dreary circumstances, she looked after herself well and kept herself tidy and neat . Even though the color of her clothes had long since faded, she didn't look ragged; despite her apparel and surrounding environment, she looked natural and fair .
She might not have been the prettiest woman to look at, but she had an inviting appeal . She exuded a sense of comfort, and Han Sen found himself quite attracted to her .
"Where is Chu Ming?" Han Sen looked past her, but did not see him .
"He went to buy food in the shelter; he'll be back soon . " She then observed Han Sen with a stare, and went on to say, "Your wounds have healed quickly . "
"My hyper geno art can heal . " Han Sen had a prepared response for her curiosity .
He had healed almost too quickly . His body had been broken, with organs damaged and bones snapped . Yet, after but a few days, he was back on his feet . No one would believe he had healed this quickly via natural means .
"Healing powers? You can heal people?" Qu Lanxi asked Han Sen with shock .
"If I am fully recovered, I can impart healings on others . But that would depend on who or what; while it is fairly strong, I don't imagine my healing ability would prove sufficient for a wounded super creature," Han Sen said, modestly .
"It is rare to find people who can heal others of the same tier . When you have recovered, you might be able to find a job over on the ranch . Healing abilities are cherished at such a place, so you'd be paid handsomely," Qu Lanxi told Han Sen .
Han Sen was interested in this prospect, so he asked, "Ranch? What ranch?"
"Well, it's more of a colosseum, really . Spirits trap creatures that are unable to be tamed and pit them against each other, for the entertainment of humans . " Qu Lanxi sounded as if she did not think fondly of such venues . After her brief explanation, she returned to the house and tidied up .
Han Sen remained near the Dragon-Blood Tree, evaluating what his next move should be .
With his power, he should have been able to kill ordinary creatures without any hassle . But now that he had learnt the creatures of this area were owned, he couldn't kill as freely as he might have wanted to .
Heading to Thorn Forest would be too dangerous in his current condition, as well, and if he ended up squaring off against a mutant creature, he could very well be killed .
Han Sen had thought repaying the debt would be a trivial task, but there were a few complications involved that would make it much harder than he initially thought .
"Oh, black crystal . Why would you absorb the lifeforce of that Ink-Sword Tree? Why-oh-why, troublesome black crystal? You used to be quite helpful, so why are you working against all of us here?" Han Sen was a little upset over his predicament .
As these feelings of sadness came over him, he felt the black crystal in the Sea of Soul tremble . One of the bountiful waterdrops it had excreted earlier, now exited the Sea of Soul and dropped onto the root of the tree .
Han Sen was shocked at this sudden turn of events . He witnessed the dying, crooked tree absorb the waterdrop without delay . And almost immediately, the weakened lifeforce of the tree was ignited . It was coming back to life .
Han Sen's mood made a quick turn-around, and he exclaimed to himself, "These waterdrops can raise old, dead wood back to life?"
The tree didn't recover its life immediately, however . It was still slowly absorbing the waterdrop .
As Han Sen observed the tree, Chu Ming returned home with a filled sack . Seeing Han Sen sunbathing near the old tree, he was quickly brought to anger . He marched forward and said, "How unfortunate it was for us to meet you! You destroyed our Ink-Sword Tree, and to top it off, we have to babysit and feed you! I'm warning you . You better get well soon and pay us back!"
"Stop yelling and come in for lunch . " Qu Lanxi had prepared food, and called them both in to eat .
Chu Ming frequently complained to Han Sen, but Han Sen understood why and thought it was reasonable . But now, Han Sen was curious about what state the old tree would soon be in, after receiving the waterdrop .
If all was successful, and it was indeed brought back to life, it'd be a mutant geno tree . The Dragon-Blood Fruit could be sold for a high price, solving all the problems Han Sen currently had .
The black crystal's waterdrops were incredibly powerful . If it could continue producing such waterdrops, they'd provide Han Sen a lot of help in the times to come .
Han Sen did not know what it took to produce those waterdrops . All he knew was that the black crystal absorbed the lifeforce of the Ink-Sword Tree and was able to produce three such waterdrops .
"Three waterdrops for a tree that had been growing for three years . Is that a coincidence?" Han Sen thought to himself .
After eating lunch, Qu Lanxi went back to working in the yard . Han Sen returned to the tree and watched for any further changes intently .
Although it was slow, Han Sen could feel the tree greasing the cogs of its existence . Slowly but surely, it was coming back to life . He wasn't sure when it'd be back to full health, but he did indeed feel it coming .
The next day, Han Sen woke up on the wooden board he had been given for a mattress . He woke up to the sound of Chu Ming shouting .
"Lanxi! Come out and take a look! The Dragon-Blood Tree is growing . "
